The Linked Ring
The Linked Ring (also known as "The Brotherhood of the Linked Ring") was a British photographic society created to propose and defend photography as being just as much an art as it was a science. Members dedicated to the craft looked for new techniques that would cause the less knowledgeable to steer away, persuading photographers and enthusiasts to experiment with chemical processes, printing techniques and new styles. Motivation to create the Linked Ring Photography was interpreted in two ways: art photography and science photography. The science of photography requires practice that determines the outcome of the image, whereas the art aspect of photography concerns itself with the aesthetic experience and success of the photograph to the viewer. These differences created a tension in the craft that the Linked Ring sought to change. The group was founded in May 1892 by Henry Peach Robinson, former Photographic Society of Great Britain member George Davison (photographer), Geor ...

Lyddell Sawyer
Lyddell "Lyd" Sawyer (1856–1927) was a British photographer and founding member of The Linked Ring group of photographers. Although he showed almost 100 prints at what was later to become the Royal Photographic Society, only a handful of his images are well known. Sawyer was born in North Shields on the River Tyne, and later moved to London. His early life in Tyneside had a lasting effect on his work, his Geordie roots shaping many of his photographs. Works such as ''The Apple Stealers Dividing the Spoils'', ''Nutting Time'', and ''Come Along Grandad'' offer evidence that his life was not one of affluence, in contrast to many of his southern contemporary photographers. Of the English members of the 'Linked Ring' Sawyer is probably the least well known. The main reason for this is very few of his photographs have survived, there are the four that were published in ' Sun Artists' in 1893 that was dedicated to him, along with such important figures in the history of photograp ...

Pictorialism
Pictorialism is an international style and aesthetic movement that dominated photography during the later 19th and early 20th centuries. There is no standard definition of the term, but in general it refers to a style in which the photographer has somehow manipulated what would otherwise be a straightforward photograph as a means of creating an image rather than simply recording it. Typically, a pictorial photograph appears to lack a sharp focus (some more so than others), is printed in one or more colors other than black-and-white (ranging from warm brown to deep blue) and may have visible brush strokes or other manipulation of the surface. For the pictorialist, a photograph, like a painting, drawing or engraving, was a way of projecting an emotional intent into the viewer's realm of imagination. Pictorialism as a movement thrived from about 1885 to 1915, although it was still being promoted by some as late as the 1940s. It began in response to claims that a photograph was nothin ...
